Qoton Qlassic: Holiday of Trees

Qoton Qlassic: Holiday of Trees

In honor of the holiday of Tu B'Shvat, I recently updated an old essay about Tu B'Shvat. Besides being published here on Reb Chaim HaQoton, this essay was also featured in the “Young Israel Tu B’Shvat Virtual Sourcebook” for 2008 and 2009 (see http://www.youngisraelrabbis.org.il/downloads/TBS/). It was also printed as part of my anthology, Prophecies of the Oracle and other Torah Essays (Lakewood/Los Angeles, 2011).


For a more extensive discussion of Tu B’Shvat and its meaning and customs, see  Rabbi Avrohom Dovid Mandelbaum's Birkas Dovid (Bnei Baraq, 2002).
